How on earth did he submit a paper without mentorship? He paid for the materials himself? He must have had a mentor who provided the materials. I agree with Mike--this is a huge embarrassment for BYU.

I had the same mentor as this kid at BYU, and I can't imagine that the mentor would have knowingly allowed a student to submit a paper as sole author.

I just looked at the paper. It's a stinking review! No materials necessary--just expertise (which he lacked). That's hilarious. And BYU is calling it a "study" even though it's a stupid review.
